How to cut paper so it can go around a paper cup?
I need to cover a paper cup with pretty paper for a crafts project. But i forgot how you’re supposed to cut the paper so when you put it around the cup it will fit. Please help !
The previous idea would be simplest if you have an extra cup.
If you don’t, then lay the cup down on its side in the middle of a lengthwise sheet of paper, then mark the top and bottom of the cup on the paper. Then *roll* the cup to the right (or left) a little, and mark those upper and lower spots again. Continue doing this till you have an "arc" long enough to fit all the way around your original cup (with a little excess for overlapping)… you can measure the bottom circumference of the cup, or just use trial & error to get the right length.

well if you have two cups you could cut one open and trace it on the other paper. or just measure on an angle and cut it.
